Tried to be as objective as possible, please tell me if you'd prefer some edits

It's fine, the only doubt I have is that in your benchmark table the time result for blocks iterator is with computing the UTXO active or not

Thank you for merging

It's been a while but I'm fairly certain that it was tested with the example in the README so something like this

let conf = blocks_iterator::Config::new("../blocks", bitcoin::Network::Bitcoin);
for b in blocks_iterator::iter(conf) {
  // Something very simple
}

I'm trying with skip_prevout = true see how it goes

I was wondering was nothing was happening for a long time and remembered that I'm using a XORed chain. It will take a while to retest this

[RCasatta]

Yeah without additional configuration the default is to provide previous outputs, which is very expensive to compute because you have to track the UTXO set and thus it's taking much more.

On my machine it's about 10 minutes without previous outputs.

That's indeed quite the difference then, sorry about that ! I'll update the README to reflect this
